Sorry Bsinmich, I am absolutely baffled on how to post an image. If you can give me any intel on that, I'd be happy to post a pic. Dougrainer that is definitely not the case. The thermostat piece I removed has two slots where the bottom would have been affixed thru, so it's definitely missing the bottom half. Hey Bud, that is definitely what my new thermostat looks like and the remains of the old part is just the top of that. I scoped inside for what little my scope could see and did not see the missing parts anywhere. Its possible its inside somewhere further down the system, but who knows because I don't know if it was there to begin with. I have two fans Fred. The clutch fan on the inside surrounded by the cowl is operating fine and the electric fan on the front of the radiator is also working fine when the a/c is on. Tropical 36, I appreciate the candid information. I am assuming this is what the previous owners must have been thinking. Arizona's valley floor is considered hot 9 months out of the year, but those other 3 months can get pretty chilly too and of course any way you travel it is usually uphill and its cooler at the higher elevations. We took the Coach from AZ to Southern FL last year and we are doing it again this year. Since changing the hoses, thermostat and antifreeze last night, I drove it around today for a while with temps varying between 70 degrees in the morning to 94 degrees this afternoon. Everything seemed to function fine. My temp gauge never hit 210 degrees, which was a pretty good indicator everything was working the way it should. Thanks for all of the answers and if I can figure out how to post a photo, I'll post a pic of the partial t-stat.
